Suppose the sediment density (g/cm) of a randomly selected specimen from a certain region is normally distributed with mean 2.65

and standard deviation 0.85. If a random sample of 25 specimens is selected, what is the probability that the sample average sediment density is at most 3.00? eetween 2.65 and 3.00?

Answer:

Probability that the sample average is at most 3.00 = 0.98030

Probability that the sample average is between 2.65 and 3.00 = 0.4803

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the sediment density (g/cm) of a randomly selected specimen from a certain region is normally distributed with mean 2.65 and standard deviation 0.85.

Also, a random sample of 25 specimens is selected.

Let X bar = Sample average sediment density

The z score probability distribution for sample average is given by;

               Z = \frac{Xbar-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = population mean = 2.65

           \sigma  = standard deviation = 0.85

            n = sample size = 25

(a) Probability that the sample average sediment density is at most 3.00 is given by = P( X bar <= 3.00)

    P(X bar <= 3) = P( \frac{Xbar-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } <= \frac{3-2.65}{\frac{0.85}{\sqrt{25} } } ) = P(Z <= 2.06) = 0.98030

(b) Probability that sample average sediment density is between 2.65 and 3.00 is given by = P(2.65 < X bar < 3.00) = P(X bar < 3) - P(X bar <= 2.65)

P(X bar < 3) = P( \frac{Xbar-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } < \frac{3-2.65}{\frac{0.85}{\sqrt{25} } } ) = P(Z < 2.06) = 0.98030

 P(X bar <= 2.65) = P( \frac{Xbar-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } <= \frac{2.65-2.65}{\frac{0.85}{\sqrt{25} } } ) = P(Z <= 0) = 0.5

Therefore, P(2.65 < X bar < 3)  = 0.98030 - 0.5 = 0.4803 .

What is x^2+11x=0? im confused on what my “c value” is.
jeka94

Answer:

c=0

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 11x + 0 = y

x² + 11x + 0 = 0

U already know that y=0 by looking at the equations above,

But your worksheet never state "c", so we will take that c is 0   (look at the equations above.)

So c is just 0.
